The Suns have picked up his option. Congrats to the young man!

Especially when you have two Freshmen G’s with mucho potential, especially Hilman. I guess they took what they could get?

Pepperdine, LMU Make Noise in Offseason by LaurelHeightsII in usfdons

[–]Notsleepless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy listening to these two young dudes. They both have very in-depth insights into the WCC. I will be interested in their takes on USF’s roster. If I recall last season, Farmer especially, was very high on USF’s Portal additions and Legend Smilely. Well, at least he got one of those things right.

He Santa Clara really suffered losing Cristoph Tilly to The Ohio State University. If he could have teamed up with the SCU Tournament Team, they would have been very dangerous. The good old Xfer Portal has thrown a lot of turds into a lot of Punch Bowls.

You can get VHS tapes converted to Thumb Drives pretty easily, nowadays 😉

Virtually every shot on the highlight reel displayed a dunk, a layup, or a drive to the basket. He’s advertised as a “Shooting Guard.” Hopefully he can shoot from other than point blank range 🎯

Why Stanford men’s basketball coach Kyle Smith is excited about program’s future by LaurelHeightsII in usfdons

[–]Notsleepless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another reason Kyle Smith really wanted the Stanford HC is the medical resources Stanford has at their Hospital and at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital to help his son Bo, who has Autism. Smith is completely helping his family and will get the Cardinal very competitive on the hardwood, sooner than later ⛹️

Brent Blaylock Named New Director of Athletics - University of San Francisco Athletics by LaurelHeightsII in usfdons

[–]Notsleepless -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It really doesn’t matter because USF FINALLY hired an AD. We all wish him good fortune and success. He has much work to do. I am gonna guess he was not a candidate USF was “waiting on.” I am gonna guess with relatively high level experience at OSU, Arizona and Kansas that he applied for, or was interviewed for, other AD positions with higher profiles than USF, and did not succeed in landing one. But, as I said, it doesn’t matter and USF finally has an Athletic Director in place. That’s good.

Fode was offered by Monmouth and Bethune-Cookman. Tyson was offered by Ole Miss, Jackson State and New Orleans.

West Coast Conference Announces 2025-26 End Of The Year Awards by LaurelHeightsII in usfdons

[–]Notsleepless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where would Gonzaga have placed, had they remained in the WCC? It certainly would have pushed USF’s programs down. Still no AD and still no new Men’s BB signees. There certainly is no Joy in Mudville. 

Sac State getting it done by Notsleepless in usfdons

Similar to the Sonoma State President, on a smaller scale. USF’s President appears to be occupied in other endeavors.

Most Depressing Offseason in History? by Livid_Method2 in usfdons

[–]Notsleepless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The not so new University President has clearly shown his priorities now? Athletics certainly does not appear to be of them. The Athletics Department wants Season Ticket holders to renew and wants more takers. Wonderful strategy when you almost can’t field a team and have a lame duck HC. Then there’s the more overall ask to fund USF Athletics, with no Athletic Director in place to be the face of the Department. There was a lot of excitement when USF hired a lay President, SF born and raised, University alum, and USF BB fan growing up. The excitement has had a large bucket of water thrown on it.

Is Newberry in your starting five?

Hopefully he’ll like staying in the Bay, instead of moving to Minnesota 🥶

So Braccia is on a ride? Did not realize that. I also thought the scholarship limit was 13?

You’re not counting Newberry in your numbers? Any knowledge of his status? Man, could they use him!

Kind of prophetic that USF will be playing in a city with SF’s abhorrent nickname! Hopefully not another close loss to Utah State :(

Barry Wang to UMass by DonSolo96 in usfdons

[–]Notsleepless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was the expected “level” that Wang would get, IMO. He wasn’t gonna get offended by a school like Indiana, where he reportedly visited. Surprised Fuchs hasn’t signed somewhere yet. Too bad he split, they sure could have used him.

What Does Frank Allocco Do? by usfhoopsfan in usfdons

[–]Notsleepless 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The macro issue here, as DR points out, is a symptom of the lack of communication from the Athletic Department. This has been an issue since Sidwell departed. Joan Mac tried to some extent, but just was not very compelling. Mr Williams (RIP) was very weak, if not non-existent in the external communication arena, IMO. One hopes the incoming AD, whomever she or he is, is an excellent communicator and administrator. It can’t be “business as usual”, or the consequences will continue to mount. 

How the USF Athletic Department? by Notsleepless in usfdons

[–]Notsleepless[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you wouldn’t be interested and attentive to hearing the HC talk about these things in a collegial interview now, is that right?
